Description

Updated nss and firefox packages fix security vulnerabilities Multiple flaws were found in the processing of malformed web content.

A flaw was found in the way Add-on update process was handled by Firefox. A Man-in-the-Middle attacker could use this flaw to install a malicious signed add-on update (CVE-2016-9064). An existing mitigation of timing side-channel attacks in NSS before 3.26.1 is insufficient in some circumstances (CVE-2016-9074).
